An information system is designed to capture, store, process, and provide access to information to support organizational processes and decision making. The document discusses the design of a resource registry information system to support a hybrid cloud-based infrastructure. The resource registry collects and manages metadata about software systems, resources, and their status to enable service discovery, monitoring, and elastic resource allocation. It implements an open model to flexibly support evolving resource types and management needs over the long lifespan of the infrastructure.
A distributed database management system (DDBMS) governs the storage and processing of logically related data over interconnected computer systems where both data and processing are distributed among several sites. A DDBMS has functions like application interfaces, validation, transformation, query optimization, mapping, security, backup/recovery, concurrency control, and transaction management to ensure data consistency across database fragments. Components of a DDBMS include workstations or remote devices that form the network, network components in each device, communications media to transfer data, transaction processors at each device, and data processors at each site to store and retrieve local data.
IT infrastructure consists of the physical devices and software applications that operate an entire enterprise. It includes computing platforms, telecommunications services, data management services, application software services, and IT management services. The infrastructure provides a shared platform for the firm's information systems applications. It includes hardware, software, and shared services across the organization. Major components are computer platforms, operating systems, enterprise software, networking/telecommunications, databases, internet platforms, and consulting services.
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort. It has characteristics of on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. Cloud computing provides advantages like cost reduction, universal access, flexibility, and potential environmental benefits. Factors driving adoption include consumerization of IT, economic pressures, globalization, workforce trends, and the rise of data and analytics.

Information systems are combinations of hardware, software, and telecommunications networks that people build and use to collect, create, and distribute useful data, typically in organizational settings.
Many businesses use information technology to complete and manage their operations, interact with their consumers, and stay ahead of their competition. Some companies today are completely built on information technology, like eBay, Amazon and Google.
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources like networks, servers, storage, applications and services over the internet. It allows users to access resources without needing to manage physical infrastructure. Resources in the cloud are pooled and allocated dynamically based on demand. Cloud computing delivers scalability, resilience, homogeneity and low costs through virtualization, broad network access, and rapid elasticity of resources.
This describes a conceptual model approach to designing an enterprise data fabric. This is the set of hardware and software infrastructure, tools and facilities to implement, administer, manage and operate data operations across the entire span of the data within the enterprise across all data activities including data acquisition, transformation, storage, distribution, integration, replication, availability, security, protection, disaster recovery, presentation, analytics, preservation, retention, backup, retrieval, archival, recall, deletion, monitoring, capacity planning across all data storage platforms enabling use by applications to meet the data needs of the enterprise.
The conceptual data fabric model represents a rich picture of the enterprise’s data context. It embodies an idealised and target data view.
Designing a data fabric enables the enterprise respond to and take advantage of key related data trends:
• Internal and External Digital Expectations
• Cloud Offerings and Services
• Data Regulations
• Analytics Capabilities
It enables the IT function demonstrate positive data leadership. It shows the IT function is able and willing to respond to business data needs. It allows the enterprise to meet data challenges
• More and more data of many different types
• Increasingly distributed platform landscape
• Compliance and regulation
• Newer data technologies
• Shadow IT where the IT function cannot deliver IT change and new data facilities quickly
It is concerned with the design an open and flexible data fabric that improves the responsiveness of the IT function and reduces shadow IT.

This document provides an introduction to information storage and management. It discusses why information storage has become important in the digital age, with data being created at an ever-increasing rate. It defines what data and information are, and describes how individuals and businesses collect and analyze data. It also outlines the key elements of data centers, including applications, databases, servers, networks, and storage arrays. Finally, it discusses challenges in managing information and the concept of information lifecycles over time.
Cloud Computing & Impact Of IT On OrganizationRomana Sharmin
Cloud computing involves using large groups of remote servers networked together to provide centralized data storage and online access to computer services. There are three main types of cloud services: public clouds which are hosted by vendors and shared; private clouds which are dedicated to a single organization; and hybrid clouds which use a combination of public and private clouds. The three cloud service models are Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Information technology impacts organizations in several key ways, including enabling new business strategies, changing organizational culture, improving management processes, transforming work, and altering economic impacts through changes in costs.

21. ENTERPRISE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE
• An architecture is the blueprint for translating a business strategy
into a plan
• An infrastructure is a relative term meaning “the structure beneath a
structure”
• This definition implies different layers of structure, which provide support or
services
• It is the implementation of the architecture
23. Why Information Infrastructure
Matters????
• Global markets are creating enormous demands for increased
information sharing
• A powerful, flexible Information infrastructure has become a
prerequisite for any enterprise for doing business
24. Why Information Infrastructure
Matters????
• Information infrastructure should exhibit several key
traits, such as:
• Efficiency
• Reusable components that are priced reasonably and can be turned
around quickly for application development projects
• Effectiveness
• Easy integration of all components in a way that supports their
operation
• Agility
• Good planning and design processes that allow companies to develop
new applications quickly and to upgrade their existing infrastructure to
support new requirements for existing and/or new applications
25. Why Information Infrastructure
Matters????
• Translating the architecture into an infrastructure entails creating
details about certain technologies:
• Hardware
• Software
• Network
• Information
26. ENTERPRISE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE
• There are four types of information infrastructures:
1. Decentralized
2. Centralized
3. Distributed
4. Client/server
27. Decentralized Information Infrastructure
• A decentralized information infrastructure involves little or no
sharing of information systems
• Gives users the freedom to develop applications that meet their
needs and maintain control over the applications they develop
• Disadvantages
• Difficult to share applications and information across areas
• Each area may have their own hardware/software, maintenance and service
contracts which could increase cost
• Encourages duplication of data which can lead to inconsistencies
29. Centralized Information Infrastructure
• A centralized information infrastructure involves the
storing of application software and information in one
central area or one central mainframe
• Mainframes were originally the only computers available for business
• Advantages:
• High degree of control makes it easy to maintain h/w, s/w, procedures and
operations standards
• Easy to control access to information
• Disadvantages:
• Inflexibility – different departments have different needs and one size does not
fit all
31. Distributed Information Infrastructure
• A distributed information infrastructure involves distributing
the information and processing power of IT systems via a
network
• The architecture must be able to determine the location as well as
the optimal way to request specific applications and information
• By connecting all the information systems via a distributed
infrastructure, all locations can share information and
applications
• Processing activity can be allocated to the location(s) where it
can most efficiently be done
• Will duplicate the same application and/or information in multiple
sites
33. Client/Server Information Infrastructure
• A client/server information infrastructure has one or
more computers that are servers which provide services
to other computers, called clients
• The client/server infrastructure is a form of distributed
infrastructure
• Application processing is split between the client and server
• When surfing the web, your computer is the client using browser
software and interacting with Web servers that have information you
are seeking (shopping, news, education, etc.)
• The server sends information to the client where it is
processed – the network is heavily used which can become
a bottleneck

36. Output for Enterprise to invest on
Information Infrastructure
• IT investments are one of the most important decisions made within an
organization
• IT infrastructure investments are large, long term, and have no (real)
value on their own
• By developing a solid information infrastructure, GM (General Motors
Company) has saved $1 billion annually for the past 5 years
• Wachovia Corp (4th largest financial services comp and 3rd largest
brokerage firm in the US) invested $1.4 million in information
infrastructure development and saved $2.3 million within two years
37. Supporting an Information Infrastructure
• Backup is the process of making a copy of the
information stored on a computer
• Recovery is the process of reinstalling the backup
information in the event the information was lost
38. Disaster Recovery Plan
• A disaster recovery plan is a detailed process for recovering
information in the event of a catastrophic disaster such as a fire or
flood
• A collocation facility is a enterprise that rents space and
telecommunications equipment from another company
• Hot site – separate and fully equipped facility where a enterprise can
move immediately after a disaster and resume business
• Cold site – separate facility that does not have computer equipment
but where employees can move after a disaster
39. INTEGRATING THE ENTERPRISE INFORMATION
INFRASTRUCTURE
• Integration allows separate applications to communicate
directly with each other by automatically exporting data
files from one application and importing them into
another
• Building integrations between applications helps an
organization maintain better control of its information
40. INTEGRATING THE ENTERPRISE INFORMATION
INFRASTRUCTURE
• Gap Inc has 1,900 stores around the world, employees
more than 13,000 people and generated 16.3 billion
revenues in 2010
• Their goal is to maintain a 20% growth rate each year –
to do this they need to provide their employees with
immediate access to real-time information
41. Why Integration Is Necessary
• Integration requires the simplification and streamlining of
organizational processes using techniques such as BPR
and workflow redesign
• Business process reengineering (BPR) is the analysis and
redesign of workflow within and between enterprises
• Workflow defines all the steps or business rules, from beginning
to end, required for a business process
42. Benefits of Integration
• Many of the benefits can be easily measured in financial terms
• Cost reduction
• Reduction of inventory costs
• Reduction of personnel costs
43. Benefits of Integration
RANK TANGIBLE INTANGIBLE
1 Inventory reduction Information visibility
2 Personnel reduction New/improved process
3 Productivity improvements Customer responsiveness
4 Order processing improvements Integration
5 IT cost reduction Standardization
6 Procurement reduction Flexibility
7 Revenue/profit increase Globalization
8 Transportation logistics Business performance
45. Conclusions
The paper suggests that information infrastructures should not be studied
retrospectively to understand how they are established, but rather should
be studied focusing on the process of making. Here we study the action of
making rather than the processes that made.
A business organization it is simple like the competitive edge and for
service oriented organization it is simple a set of procedures
